The Lorax is an animated adventure which was originally an Dr Seuss book, but its been brought to life and definatley made its mark in the movie industry.
It starts with a simple young 12 year old boy named Ted voiced by Zac efron, we later learn that he will embark on a journey to retrieve what the girl of his dreams wants. she desires to have a real tree ad in this story real trees no longer exist, so ted then meets the mysterious Once-ler who is known to be the one who knows the story of what happend to the trees, he tells him and and as he tells him we see the story in flashbacks how a young boy decided to start a business by using the Trufalla trees to create Thneeds which can be used as almost anything. the lorax appears when the first tree is cut down as he is the sort of protector of the forest and its animals. he is voiced by Danny devito which is a great combination i think as he has played characters who are humorous and serious before such as Philatetees from the Disney animation Hercules.
This film has a hidden message to it, it is an example of what the world is today as every tree is chopped down in the movie and all the fuzzy creatures who lived there have to move as they no longer have homes making way for companies and homes which is what the majority of the world is like today. the way the main characters so desperately try to plant the last tree made me think maybe we shouldn't take nature for granted everyone should actually contribute to keeping it alive and preventing more forests being cut down.
